An Adventure isn't a planned event...when you're on an Adventure you need to be able to go any which way your Adventure takes you.
With The Adventure Multiplier, the Adventure Team Commander needs only pick a direction to go and the Adventure Multiplier can take him that way. The Adventure Multiplier features a reconfigurable center bay that can be equipped for specific missions. Multiple Variable-output Laser Cannons with offensive, defensive, and way-clearing capacities. 4 "Ready to Rock" Rockets able to support various mission specific warheads. A doubly Redundant suite of Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance equipment. And an "Eco-Whisper Hybridized Power Plant" This Vehicle was Started and Completed for Joecustom's Ridiculously Awesome Vehicle Group Project A simple but not simple Vehicle... Cutting and fitting Two Rolling Thunder's Ass to Ass took a bit of precision...but I've done something similar on another of my many unfinished Works in progress. I opted to keep the vehicle simple and simply covered over the interior space...rather than try and fit a Lab or storage, or whatever in the Belly of the Vehicle...I figure leave that space up to the Imagination because it's "a re-configurable space." After closing in the center section I felt it still needed a little bit to make the upper level interesting... So I added the "Tech Detail" from the TTPB and Road Toad... I'd harvested the Road Toad for a different project that I've since scrapped...but I really like the idea of not just using "Tech Detail" but carrying forward things like working hatches Under appreciated fact: The Rolling Thunder has shared it's Tires with both the General and Cobra Detonator...only on the Detonator the Tires are Black as opposed to a grey on the RT or General... I went with Black Tires from the Detonator. I didn't start with the intention of creating an Adventure Team vehicle...but once the shell was together...I couldn't think of any color scheme more appropriate than Adventure Team. As always, I'd love to hear what you think... |

Looks great! I dont have any strong ties to AT stuff, but it looks like a fun concept.
You have any issues with balance? Like if you put figures in one cockpit, but not in the other? |

You only took a picture of the front! What's the back look like?
But seriously, a cool concept and one that seems really appropriate to the Adventure Team. |

I got confused and dizzy Taking and Editing the photos...If it weren't for the direction of the Flags, It's possible I'd have posted the same photo 6 times and not realized they weren't different.

Wow! That is simply cool. I love 3 3/4" AT customs. I wish I had time to make more myself.

I've not had it loaded up with figures, but I don't think there'd be any issue... The Center of Gravity is quite low because of how big the wheels are... and the canopies aren't cantilevered out that much beyond the wheels...

I love how much AT stuff I'm seeing in this section lately.
This is simply incredible, as is your courage in hacking up two Rolling Thunders! I would say it was worth it. I want this vehicle! |
